The Resurrection

Today’s Bible Verse: “We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:14

Christians have the glorious hope of resurrection from the dead and eternal life. Why do we believe this? Because God says so in His word – the Holy Bible.

We believe the promises of God, that once our physical bodies die, our spirit, which is immortal, goes to be with Jesus in heaven. When Jesus returns to the earth to establish His eternal kingdom, we will also return with Him. We will live forever with God in a new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells. There will be no more sin or sickness or suffering or pain.

Just as our heavenly Father gave Jesus Christ victory over sin and death, He will also give us the same. We can have confidence that if we belong to Him, whether we are living or dead when He comes, we will also share in His resurrection.
